String Flowable to InputStream bridge

[akarnokd]

Hi.

I took on the challenge of writing a bridge that turns Strings in a Flowable into bytes readable via the Java InputStream API (blockingly):

• FlowableStringInputStream.java
• FlowableStringInputStreamTest.java

Since I don't do I/O in RxJava2Extensions, I'd like to ask if this project would be interested in this type of bridge?

I like it. I'd be glad to give it a home, thanks. I'll have a think what to name it (Strings.createInputStream(Flowable<String>, Charset) perhaps, or Strings.toInputStream).

Oh I just copied and pasted then fixed for Java 6. Would have been more polite to see if you wanted to make a PR (and good for the commit history to see who wrote what). Happy to roll change back for a PR if you want.

I'm fine.
